Malpass For Corwin

Former US Senate hopeful David Malpass’s political action committee, GrowPAC, has launched a radio ad campaign to support Assemblywoman Jane Corwin’s bid for former Rep. Chris Lee’s seat in NY-26.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has not yet called a special election in the district, although with the passage by both the Senate and Assembly this week of his bill to extend the special election timeline, an announcement could be imminent.

“We endorsed Jane Corwin for Congress on February 23 and are actively supporting her election,” said Malpass.

“We need candidates who will fight hard to restrain Washington and Albany. We need less taxes, less government debt and more leaders with backbone.”

“Jane Corwin gets it. She will fight to end the big-government incompetence that is destroying western New York’s economy. We have to get Washington and Albany off our backs so our families can stay in our communities.”

“Governor Cuomo should schedule the special election as soon as possible so voters in the 26th District have a strong representative in Congress.”

Malpass is trying to stay relative while mulling a potential re-match against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2012. He finished second in the GOP primary last fall to former Rep. Joe DioGuardi, who went on to lose to Gillibrand in the November general election.
